Protect Your Home With Power Surge Protection
Louisville experiences an average 40 and 60 thunderstorms each year, and each of these storms has the potential to blow out power to your household. When power goes out, especially due to a storm, you’re also more likely to encounter power surges when lightning strikes or the power reconnects. Sometimes, power surges can even happen without any warning, wrecking appliances and electronics that are plugged in at the time. That’s why Absolute Services performs whole house surge protection in Louisville, KY, helping homeowners protect their investments.

Why Invest In Whole House Surge Protection Installation
You may not think it’s worth your money to get surge protection installed in your home, but we’d urge you to think differently. Below are some key benefits you’ll enjoy when you work with us at Absolute Services to install whole home surge protectors.
Lower Risk of Fire
Causing electrical fires in your home is one of the most dangerous potential effects of a power surge. This happens when your electrical system becomes overloaded with too much voltage, heating up your electrical system leading to a fire. Whole home surge protection ensures your entire electrical system is protected from this risk.
Reduced Insurance Costs
When insurance companies assess your claims or make decisions on how much you should pay, they’ll take into account your risk factors. Taking steps to protect your home like investing in the installation of a whole home surge protector can lower your insurance premiums.
Protect Your Electronics & More
Anything in your home that relies on electricity is susceptible to damage from power surges if not adequately protected. Don’t risk frying your fridge, bricking your laptop, or destroying any of your other electronic devices plugged into your walls. Get whole house surge protection installed in Louisville, KY to avoid harm to your potentially pricey gadgets.
Safeguard Your Electrical System
Beyond the electronics plugged into your electrical system, a power surge can negatively affect your electrical system, itself. Circuits can be damaged, plastic can be melted, and more. Take the next step towards protecting your power grid when you contact us at Absolute Services.
How Whole House Surge Protection Works
You may be familiar with the surge protectors that are plugged into your outlets and allow you to plug specific electronics in safely, but whole house surge protection works differently. With this kind of whole-home system, it’s installed at the electrical panel. This way, when it detects voltage spikes it will redirect the additional electrical surge into the ground. By sending the voltage to the ground before it can run through your outlets, everything plugged in will automatically be protected. You only need one installation to protect your whole household, and you won’t need to perform any daily maintenance for it to work around the clock automatically.
